    Chicken Fried Steak
    Tonyia F.

    Comfort food and inexpensive prices along with generous portions. Old fashioned customer service, Dominic, our waiter was phenomenal. He aimed to please and very attentive as well as courteous. He checked on us often but wasn't overbearing. Hard worker. Hostess was attentive as well, positive attitude. Very personable. Ordered the Beef Tips Jr. Beef tips somewhat tough. Portion was just right, I was hungry for this amount of food without having to worry about not eating it all and having leftovers. Green beans tasted like they were straight from the can and Mac's and cheese tasted straight from a box. Was expecting more homemade sides but I settled for it with no complaints. Chicken fried steak was delicious. You can tell the gravy was homemade from scratch. It was sooo good. Had enough portions to make 2 meals. Butter rolls were divine. Straight out the oven, soft and buttery. I asked for a side of honey and dipped the honey into the butter to make my own whipped concoction. The rolls could've been a meal in itself. Ordered the peach cobbler. For $7 you get a humongous slice with a side of ice cream. The cobbler was rock hard cold, so I brought it home and heated it up in my air fryer to get it hot and made the crust somewhat crispy. Indulged at home. Overall, I was satisfied. I'd definitely return. Each day they have daily specials. Can't wait to try the unlimited catfish on Fridays.

    I had chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes, and I got the sampler appetizer with fried pickles,

    The quality and the care that they take making their food is top-notch. The ingredients are always fresh. You can tell freshly cut Texas caviar I love it. I had chicken fried steak and it was perfection. Lee was my server and he was so attentive I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Oh, in the bathrooms were pretty clean.

    Kids menu - Mac and cheese, fries and fruits, missing in pic - drink and cookie!
    Shayer S.

    Food was reasonably priced and service was great. Kids menu had a lot of options. For the adults, you can get 2 entries with 4 sides total for $23. Kids eat free on Thursdays with the purchase of an entree. All the food tasted as they should. I've definitely had better versions of both the fish/chips and chicken Alfredo but they were still decent. I will definitely come back when in this area and try out some of the other dishes that I couldn't try this time around.

    What was ordered: Classic Cheeseburgers with lettuce, tomato, and red onion, special sauce.
    Yvonne M.

    I ordered two Classic Cheeseburgers with lettuce, tomato, and red onion, special sauce. What was received was: 2 dry burgers! No cheese, no veggies, no seasoning, with a side of cold fries that weren't even edible! I was so very disappointed that I could actually cry! Oh, to add insult to injury they were nice enough to throw in 2 dry rolls to accompany our dry burgers!

    Seafood platter , shrimp okay catfish salty very little French fries

    Well, let's say Sunday evening about 4:45 PM and the place is kind of dead, not busy lots open tables. I'm sitting here waiting for my daughter and grandson to celebrate her birthday that was yesterday. What's she arrived? She was greeted by our server and she immediately ordered an appetizer of chicken, fried bacon, and her drink and kids drink . Our other party ordered a lemonade. here we go so three adults one child and here we go . The appetizers seem like it took forever to arrive once it did it was fresh crispy, and pretty tasty . A few minutes later, we placed our orders and my daughter ordered beef tips with a few sides. I ordered the seafood platter and other Party guess ordered a simple yam. As time went by and remembered this place is not even busy. It's hard to see who's in charge because nobody seems to be taking the lead looking around not a lot of activity among the servers. It's pretty pretty bland. Knowing that our food is taking much longer than expected our server brought over a basket of hot rolls on the house, which is very nice of him and refilled our drinks . Finally would seem like 35 or 40 minutes later are on entrees arrived minus the yam for other party which he said was still being made a baked potato style item that came out last unbelievable. At this point, she did not even want the yam as we were eating our main dishes and it still hasn't arrived. It wasn't until we were almost done that they finally arrived and he apologized. She just took it to go.. As for the beef tips, very disappointing my daughter said they were tough no flavor and there was a french fry inside of it hiding which you can see in the picture. The macaroni and cheese side was nothing greater than typical kraft macaroni It seemed and the mashed potatoes were just kind of hard and not even fresh . As for mine, the catfish and fried shrimp tasted mostly like oil from the fryer. The shrimp were kind of bad they were OK. I guess the dumpling side was actually probably the best thing that me and my daughter both liked the other sides of mac & cheese again weren't that great and dried out . The catfish was very salty and I even gave away my jalapeño poppers so I got no feedback on those to the other party guest who ate them and they were average. Bottom line if you're not in the hurry, then this is the place for you but having a lack of management presence and the urgency of the kitchen to get things out much faster is terrible. Our server did the best I think to handle it as best that he could, even though at the end I had to remind him the kids meal came with a cookie, and I was overcharged an extra Pepsi that was refillable on the check that I caught before I had to pay Total cost $70 probably not gonna visit this place again and head over to Cracker Barrel 2 stars

    Chicken fried steak, green beans, garlic mashed potatoes, and two gravy containers.

    I think Chicken Fried Steak is one of the best defining dishes of Southern cuisine. I think Chicken…read moreFried Steak is an item that has kept the people of the Southern United States together regardless of interests, jobs, intelligence, and opinions. It is a unifying meal of blue-collared and white-collared people alike. It is a food that unifies the vast cultures of the south. There is no debate when there is a Chicken Fried Steak. Soul food and southern food are so severely important to people who were raised in the south because the overall feeling of those cuisines is that it feels like their Grandma is cooking dinner. Now if you look at my Yelp profile picture for a fraction of a second and maybe stereotype a little, you can accurately assume that my Grandma's cooking would fit in the latter and you would maybe wonder if my grandmother knows what seasoning is. If you have had her chili, you would say no. The famous Texan Cafe & Pie Shop in Hutto is a classic Southern diner that is always a perfect pick-me-up meal and is a truest staple of the area. When I first visited Hutto before moving I looked for places to try, and the abundant and sheer quantity of reviews for Texan Cafe made it clear that I had to try it. That was just over a year ago, and I still remember parking my car in the lot across the street and walking into the cozy diner with wood chairs and booths, red tablecloths, and so much decor on the walls it might be a museum, and I felt right about moving to Hutto. I was seated immediately and almost instantly ordered the Chicken Fried Steak smothered with white gravy, of course, with sides of Fried Okra and Mashed Potatoes. It was not long before the beautiful plate hit my table, and I destroyed everything on that plate. When I thought it was over, I was handed the dessert menu that was two full rows worth of pie and other options. I was mesmerized by the length of it and was overwhelmed by the options. I texted my parents to tell them and suddenly I was going back to San Antonio with slices on slices worth of pie for them to have. When my parents came up to help move me in, they wanted to go to the Texan. They were impressed with how great the meal was alongside the pies. Pies that they bought extra of to take back with them to San Antonio. When I started my job, the first meal they took us new hires to was the Texan. I tried their Blue Plate Special and found out that Chicken Fried Pork Chops exist and fell in love with that. When my brother came and visited meeting my parents and me in Hutto, we went to the Texan. We enjoyed their appetizers and everyone had to have a slice of pie. Options for everyone. When a friend came and visited, she took a solo trip to the Texan while I was at work then told me she took the best nap of her life after. My buddy and I decided to go randomly one day after work to try their Hot Pie with Brandy Sauce. That thing is a tank and is worth a visit to try alone. What a sweet creation. When my girlfriend visited me in Hutto, I took her to the Texan and she will randomly text me about how much she misses the pie. I try to get her a slice every time she comes and visits. It is her favorite thing. It is clear to see why it is a favorite to so many because everyone I have taken to the Texan has left a fan wanting to come back. I brought my grandparents home a full Blueberry pie from the Texan Cafe which my grandma told me "was the best I have even since I was a little girl. Not too sweet with a great crust. Just right. A blueberry pie is my favorite." I know this review is less of a review and more of a collection of vignettes of many stories built inside the walls of the Texan Cafe, but that is what is so beautiful about southern hospitality and southern diners. That is why there is so much decor about the extensive history of Texan Cafe and the culture of Hutto on the walls. I went back this afternoon for the first time in a short while, but I find myself continuously impressed by the quality of the food, the efficiency as a whole, and just how welcoming everyone is inside. Their pies are just truly next level. Today, I went for the Chicken Fried Pork Chop Blue Plate Special which is truly heaven sent, potato salad, fried okra, and a slice of their cherry pie. It is a meal you feel blessed to eat and a restaurant you love supporting because of it. Every pie I have had at the Texan is better than any other pie I have eaten. They could be a full time bakery and still be the monument of Hutto. It just happens they have food that warms your heart too. RIYL: Grandma's cooking if it was not dry
